Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are the promising rechargeable batteries in large-scale energy storage systems for their low cost, high safety, wide temperature range adaptability, environmental friendliness and excellent fast-charging capabilities. Significant research endeavors in SIBs have focused on the exploration of high-performance electrode materials and thorough investigation of their mechanisms. Na₂FePO₄F (NFPF) is one of potential cathode materials because of low cost, minimal volume strain and extended cycle performance. This review summarizes the crystal structure, sodium ion migration pathways, and synthesis methods of NFPF and discusses the effect of various strategies including hybridization with carbon materials, ion doping, morphology control and electrolyte optimization on its electrochemical performance. Additionally, the application of the NFPF in different batteries is summarized. Finally, the challenges and future directions of NFPF are proposed. This review is both timely and important for promoting the applications of cost-effective NFPF.
